Pathetic in many sense
By: braveheart_1947 | Nov 19, 2003 12:07 PM 
The movie might be funny for some but overall it is a pathetic mockery of the Indian culture. Having myself being a TA for 5 years and seen dozens of other FOB TA’s (as they are derogatorily referred to by the second generation Indian Amrericans),...

By: friendandfriend | Jun 14, 2003 05:36 AM 
Going through the reviews and comments about the movie, it seems everybody has rated it and viewed it from Indian point of view. I liked the review posted by pavithra where she has given very good background of the movie and her views. In this review,...

I think thought that this film was very cute. I watched it with my boyfriend and our friends who aren’t Indian and they were laughing and enjoying it the whole way through. They asked me several questions on Indian culture and even though the movie...

Misinterpretation
By: moviemaker Member's photo available | Apr 28, 2003 01:28 AM 
This mutant produce of the Indian Entertainment-branch has unfortunately not fulfilled its task to understand life of pakistani and indian people. Projecting them as confused, fragile and stubborn people was not very reasonable. Movies such as Monsoon...

an american born confused desi!!
By: alaina | Apr 09, 2003 03:03 PM 
This movie was a total crack up. I’ve seen it five times now and still it makes me laugh horrendensly. The composition of this film is well presented. Kris ’with a K’ or shall I dare say Krishna is the main actor in this comedy. He is an Indian raised...

Yo!! Thats the way to go! Following Nagesh Kukunoor’s instincts, other Engineer turned Film-makers are jumping into the foray, making movies what would relate closely to their lives, while also making it light on the heart and Sprinkling Lots of Humour...

Bollywood meets Hollywood
By: christinaa Member's photo available | Feb 12, 2003 06:23 PM 
The typical East meets West topic, but it was extremely humorous. Krishna Gopal Reddy or Kris is a freshman in college and hates spicy Indian food, religious ceremonies and prayers and everything about the Indian culture. He was born into an East Indian...

By: davieboy Member's photo available | Feb 11, 2003 09:00 AM 
Culture? What do you want me to learn about Indian culture? That I come from a country where the concept of toilet paper is still a myth? That kids let their parents decide who their going to marry? The Cast Deep Katdare ..................

Not Again
By: iyerarchi Member's photo available | Jan 08, 2003 09:51 AM 
It always starts with a novel idea...Then come the unavoidable followers who make tiny differences in the same and hope it will run too. Thats what American Desi is about. The Director thought - ’’Aree baba, what should I add to the script so that Junta...

Stereotypical but Cute
By: Mughala | Dec 28, 2002 05:46 AM 
This movie is hilarious! Some of the scenes are instant classics--the prayer scene, the burka scene, the grocery store scene. You should definitely buy the DVD and watch it over and over. Having said that,the performance of the two lead characters aren’t...
